Then, take the first one.

Where I Am


 

Where I Am

I didn't go as far

as I had planned.

I thought the wind

would be strong.

I was wrong.

Time to let go

of the plan

and grow where I am.

The Break


The Break

Pods provide protection.

Seeds settle inside.

The break takes place.

Wind whisks seeds away.

Pods persevere.

Signals of Fall


Signals of Fall

Some leaves turn red.

They do not stop.

Some leaves turn yellow.

They do not slow down.

The leaves turn because

the green must go.

I am Tired


I am Tired

of flying everywhere.

of chasing others.

of others chasing me.

of the weight of

my responsibilities.

I am so tired that

I can barely lift my wings.

A Coot in the Lake


 

A Coot in the Lake

I thought I saw a different

kind of duck in the lake.

Took it's picture,

but it was far away.

Fortunately, it stayed a few days.

I got a better picture,

and identified it as a coot.

It swam alone.

It was a bold coot,

but I couldn't tell

if it was an old coot.
